* create: Clean up experimental paths
This cleans up the experimental features, and adds both unit and integration test coverage to verify no regressions.
* create: preserve config and layer names when creating from safetensors models
When creating a model FROM an existing safetensors model, ModelFormat,
Capabilities, and layer Name fields were lost. ModelFormat stayed empty
because it's only set from GGML layers (which safetensors models lack),
and layer names weren't copied in parseFromModel. This caused derived
models to fail loading ("config.json not found in manifest").
* review comments
This change adds a tensorImportTransform interface for model-specific
tensor transformations during safetensors import. This allows importing
and modifying the standard HF based weights as well as the mlx-community
derived pre-quantized safetensors repos to be directly
imported into `ollama create`. Right now this only works with Qwen3.5
importing which does tensor renaming, norm weight shifting (it
adds +1 to each value of the norm vectors), conv1d transposition,
and casts to BF16s for F32 based vectors.
This change adds support for qwen3.5-next-moe models (qwen3-next/qwen3.5-next/qwen3-coder) to the MLX runner. It also:
* introduces recurrent cache support and related MLX ops
* updates pipeline/runner integration and adds tests
* properly quantizes stacked expert tensors
* a Gated Delta Metal kernel for fast SSM inference
* adds new MLX calls for Conv1d, DepthwideConv1d, Contiguous, Exp, Log, SoftmaxAxis
This change includes:
- changes to the safetensors metadata format
- changes to the create command to properly create the blobs with the new format
- changes to load the new format
- fixes ollama show to properly show each tensor
* x: make `ollama create --experimental` import from safetensors
This change allows pulling in safetensors models into the new experimental model format, and also
fixes the `ollama show` command to be able to correctly display the model information.
* gofumpt the linter
* gofumpt the linter again
* validate the model name
